Spotify Halloween Icon Pack

This Halloween, Spotify gets a fun, spooky twist with a custom-designed icon pack! This pack includes 12 unique icons inspired by Halloween themes, all while maintaining Spotify’s clean and modern style. Designed to align with the Spotify brand identity, these icons bring playful visuals that will enhance the Halloween experience across Spotify’s UI.

Sketching and Icon Grid Foundation

The foundation of the Spotify Halloween icon pack relies on a robust Material Grid system. This grid ensures consistent proportions and balanced visual weight for each icon, maintaining clarity and precision across different screen sizes—from mobile to desktop. The grid approach ensures scalability, allowing the icons to look sharp across all platforms.

Transforming Originals into Halloween Icons.

A series of classic Spotify icons have been reimagined with a spooky Halloween twist. From the Home icon turning into a haunted house to the Play button resembling a cracked pumpkin, these redesigns bring a festive touch to the familiar Spotify symbols while maintaining usability within the platform.

Ensuring Visual Balance.

One key challenge was ensuring visual consistency across different themes, especially in light and dark modes. White lines tend to appear bolder on dark backgrounds. To balance this, the line stroke was adjusted, with lighter strokes for dark mode and standard strokes for light mode. This adjustment helped maintain clarity and avoid overly bold appearances across backgrounds.

Adjusting Strokes for Different Modes.

In light mode, the icons use a standard 1.5 px line stroke for clarity, while in dark mode, the stroke is thinned to 1 px to avoid making the icons appear too bold. These adjustments ensure that the icons retain their balance and sharpness across both modes.

Halloween-Icon Though Process

Icons such as the search magnifying glass were transformed into an eerie eye, while the stop icon was turned into a sinister watch. Each redesign adds a unique and spooky aesthetic to enhance the Halloween theme while ensuring icons are still easily recognizable.

Prototyping for Real-World Use

The icons were prototyped across mobile, tablet, and desktop environments to ensure they function well in Spotify's UI. The goal was to maintain clarity while adding a festive and spooky touch, creating a smooth user experience across all platforms.
